Airport looks to double current contract with design firm for airport expansion

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 12:13:37 GMT

Editor's note: A previous version of this story said city council was set to authorize "the remaining $27 million of its $52 million contract with architectural design firm, HNTB Corporation." The story has been updated to reflect that the $27 million will actually be an increase of the current contract. AUSTIN (KXAN) -- The Austin airport is moving on to phase two of its design process in the airport expansion program, and is more than doubling its contract with the design firm. Airport staff will ask city council to increase its current contract with architectural design firm, HNTB Corporation, by an additional $27 million for a total of $52 million. Council authorized the original $25 million contract back in December of 2021. HNTB is consulting the airport on how it can expand, as the city continues to grow and the need for a bigger airport becomes more apparent. The contract with HNTB will run through 2030, according to an airport spokesperson.

Ted’s Montana Grill closes Larimer Square location after 20 years

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 12:13:37 GMT

After 20 years in Larimer Square, Ted’s Montana Grill has closed its saloon doors.Kristie Mansur, the director of operations at Ted’s Montana Grill in Larimer Square, said the Ohio-based chain was not able to reach an extended lease agreement with its landlord, North Carolina-based Asana Partners, which purchased the Denver landmark property for $92.49 million in 2020.“We were looking for a long-term lease at a rent that we felt was fair, and they were not able to offer that to us,” Mansur said. “That was a flagship location for us, so it was with very heavy hearts that we had to make this decision.”Ted’s Montana Grill, which opened at 1401 Larimer St. in 2003, had its last day of service on May 15.“The building was very authentic to our brand. It actually was a turn-of-the-century saloon, and our restaurants are fashioned out of Montana, turn-of-the-century saloons,” Mansur said. We would have loved to continue to operate on Larimer Square.”Related ArticlesRestaurants, Food and Dri...

Editorial: Denver needs “killer instinct” to keep the Broncos on historic Mile High land

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 12:13:37 GMT

The anecdote goes that Stan Kroenke visited the 289-acre future home of the SOFI stadium in California, fell in love with the Hollywood Park setting, and set in motion a $5 billion investment to create a modern marvel of a stadium serving two NFL football teams and a money-making redevelopment of surrounding land he scooped up.As the Los Angeles Times reported in a detailed retrospective of how SOFI came to be, the competitors for the stadium – a proposal in Carson and one in downtown Los Angeles – lacked the “killer instinct” and lost out to Kroenke’s vision in Inglewood.Perhaps that same killer instinct was missing in Oakland when the city lost the Raiders to a heavily taxpayer-funded stadium in Las Vegas, the Oakland A’s to Las Vegas where lawmakers could vote this week on a $400 million gift for a stadium on the Strip, and the Warriors to the $1 billion Chase Center in San Francisco.Denverites must dig deep — from the new mayor and city council all the way to the bar...

Mountainfilm in Telluride wants Denverites to join 45th annual documentary festival

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 12:13:37 GMT

Telluride’s Mountainfilm festival will celebrate a milestone 45th anniversary this Memorial Day weekend, showcasing more than 100 documentary features and short films alongside talks and workshops led by their creators and stars.According to festival director Suzan Beraza, programming has finally rebounded after transitioning to a virtual festival experience in 2020 and managing a limited capacity due to COVID-19 restrictions in 2021. But even as the festival’s offerings have returned to pre-pandemic levels, ticket sales so far have not.“We’ve been sold out in recent years prior to COVID, but not this year,” she said. “I’ve been so curious about that.”This trend is hardly unique to the festival. Movie-going tanked in 2020 due the COVID-19 pandemic and is recently on the rise, but box office revenues are still well below 2019, according to Variety.Beraza suspects the cost of travel to and lodging in Telluride may be deterring some regulars from flying in, but she hopes folks fr...

After success at Camp Hale, Colorado lawmakers push for more federal land designations

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 12:13:37 GMT

When President Joe Biden arrived in Colorado last fall to designate Camp Hale a national monument, it marked a peak for a decade-long effort to expand Colorado’s public lands.Seven months later and some of Colorado’s top Democrats are hoping it was more like a false summit.Sens. Michael Bennet and John Hickenlooper and Rep. Joe Neguse, all Democrats, are set to re-introduce the Colorado Outdoor Recreation and Economy, or CORE, Act this Congressional session. The bill has passed the House of Representatives multiple times, but always stalled in the Senate. The lawmakers announced the renewed effort Wednesday.Previous versions included the Camp Hale-Continental Divide protections. Even with the national monument designation, which protects about 54,000 acres of high country, the CORE Act seeks to add about 400,000 acres of protected lands.“President Biden’s actions on Camp Hale and the Thompson Divide are a victory for Colorado’s environment, for our $10 ...

Why Crystal Dam in the Black Canyon of the Gunnison is releasing billions of gallons of water

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 12:13:37 GMT

Billions of gallons of water are rushing this week out of the Blue Mesa Reservoir on Colorado’s Western Slope, through the Black Canyon of the Gunnison and ultimately into the Colorado River.For the first time in a few years, Colorado has had enough water to spare. Officials at the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation have turned up the faucet at Blue Mesa for an eight-day release that began last week and will gradually increase in volume until Thursday when it ends.At any given moment, thousands of cubic feet are flowing through the series of three dams that make up the Blue Mesa Reservoir system. At the release’s peak, the dams will release about 7,200 cubic feet of water – nearly 54,000 gallons – per second.“That’s what’s going by every single second,” Grant Watson, plant supervisor at the Crystal Dam and Power Plant, said. “Not a day, not an hour, but every second.”That much water could fill nearly five Olympic swimming pools within a minute.Colorado received so much snow this winter that...
